My hobby version of a homemade sheet metal bender

04-23-2013, 09:08 PM

Built back in 2008, I used Lincoln's version of Missile rod to weld the cut-off cast steel C clamps to the frame. I used 3X2 angle for the bending bar so I could bend past 90 degrees to allow for spring back. I haven't used it a lot, but it don't eat and parks out of the way. Thanks for looking.

Nice pics these pics show that some hard working is done on it which is owner for the maker..How much time is to make this one metal blender?My hobby is to collect the pics and save it into the file and after that research on it...

iaho I took my time building it, I worked a little bit on it each day. Just guessing I would say two days. It still needs a 1/2" rod bent in the shape of bicycle handlebars that can be flipped down to stand on and way to lock the bending arm in a horizontal position for transporting it.

What I do now to move it around is put a plate under the 2X3 angle (the angle that the c clamps hold down] and let the plate stick out past the channel iron frame so when I raise the bending arm with the pipe handles the bending arm hits the plate on the way up.
